Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Jaguar XK?
Beautiful styling which resembles an Aston Martin (your quiz, why?).
Good acceleration (for 320 hp).
Braking system good.
Steering excellent.
Overall handling excellent.
Suspension stiff (it is a sports car).
Array of accessories to dress up car (chrome wheels, wire mesh grill, chrome color mirror covers and side vent cover, metal pedal covers) which significantly adds to appearance of car.
Recommended.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Jaguar XK?
Outdated interior.
Audio system/navigation system intermittently gets frozen in start up display. Cannot predict when it will happen nor when it will normalize. Turning car off & on sometimes resets it. Dealership says there is an update software which will solve this problem.
Convertible top will not work if cover flap in trunk is not in a certain position.
Front end visibility (bumper) marginal.
My particular car has stiff gear shift.
Finally my particular car gets horrible gas consumption (11 mpg local 17 highway).

2008 Jaguar XK Review:
A beautiful car (indigo blue, caramel interior, blue convertible top) which constantly receives complements. Responsive, good handling, quick (for 320 up) and fun to drive. Despite some quirky, sometimes annoying problems I love my car. That said I recently traded my car for a sky-blue XKR.

2008 Jaguar XK Review:
I traded in my 2001 XK8 for the XK. Before taking a test drive I expected to experience a noticeable improvement in acceleration and handling. I was astounded at the difference. The changes are not evolutionary, they are truly revolutionary! Just try one!
